PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are

As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

I know, I know--it seems like we're voting all the time. Last week, most of us thought Renda was history, but Joe got booted instead, the very first time he was in the bottom three! So who will go this week? Only 5 remain--Dominic, Evan, Hank, Renda and Robert.

Make your picks, just like last week. First name the guy you think will get the boot, then add names of who else you think McFayden will call out as a potential boot candidate.

If you are new to voting in this Forum, please read the vote thread rules below before voting.

Yeah, I know, rules suck in general, but in this case following a few rules will give us a nice, clean, readable vote thread. Try it—you’ll like it!

1. To vote, hit reply and delete the words “Re: SB Official Vote Thread, CUPID, Episode 9” from the topic line of the reply box. Replace them with the names of the person you think will be boot candidates in Episode 9. The first name you list should be the guy you think gets booted. Follow this name with names of anyone else you think will be called out as a boot candidate by our lovely host Brian McFayden.

2. This is not a discussion thread. Feel free to include your logic or opinions in the message box, but do not use this thread to discuss or argue about anyone else’s reasoning. There are lots of other threads to do that in—use them, or start a new topic.

3. Reply to this post only, not the bottom post on the thread. This makes an easily tabulated and scannable vote, since all the names will line up neatly.

4. Vote just once, of course. Duplicate votes will be ignored.

NOTE: This thread will be locked by RTVW Board Moderator AyaK at 9 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, when the show starts (unless there's a really good baseball game on, in which case AyaK will lock it as soon as he can). If you are in another time zone you will have to figure out what that means in your local time.

Edited to correct the thread lock time, since I mixed up my time, CST, with Eastern Standard Time. Sorry! Thanks for pointing it out, Cupidcruiser!

Renda going is a no-brainer. His T-shirt dreams have as good as given him the boot. Dominic is another no-brainer, Lisa's comments, while still polite, are making it clear she doesn't want him for a husband. (so why she got horizontal with him on the couch is beyond me!!!) Evan is a toss-up. I know Robert won't be in the bottom three thanks to the Anti-Cupid faction, and I hope Hank won't thanks to the die-hard romantics faction, sooooo I'll go with Evan, but if he is in the bottom three, he'll be the first back to his seat.

I've been flip-flopping on this. Evan actually had the worst date, and he pretty much showed that he isn't ready to be serious yet (in previous weeks, it appeared that having the worst date can be a deciding factor). However, Lisa's own words indicated that Dom and Renda aren't really in the running now. I'm going with Renda, since he not only had Lisa obviously annoyed with the idea of being a side-show freak, but he also put his foot in his mouth in the clip from the guys house when he questioned whether he wanted to give up his "crazy gigolo life". He's been hanging on by a thread, and I think that might have cut it.

If they call three names this week I am pretty sure Renda will be headed home. Lisa finally made it clear that he is no longer in the running for husband material. Dominic is a cutie but obviously too young and Evan pretty much blew the parental date.

Like most of the folks who have voted thus far, I also believe that Renda's time is up. I'd love to say that Robert will hit the bottom three, but I think that the jokester faction will keep him safe once again, leaving no one but Evan (especially since I refuse to even entertain the notion that Hank will hit the bottom three) to fill the third spot, should they indeed name three bottom guys again this week.

Renda's tshirt and tickets comments may have cost him dearly with the show's true love fans. He's been circling the drain every week--time to boot him!

When Renda, Dom and Evan are called out, that will leave our 2 finalists--Hank & Robert as the two most popular guys, setting off what the show producers no doubt hope will be a calling frenzy between those two.

I don't believe the "we hate Lisa" faction is big enough to keep Robert out of the bottom three this week. I have to believe that Hank and Evan will be the top two votegetters, especially now that Lisa's preferences are pretty clear. Renda and Dom, though, should be at the bottom.

As long as the Red Sox don't tank against the Orioles tonight, I'll try to lock the thread on time!
